Another approach to consider is that one could have the script
lib/math/bigint/t/mbi_rand.t look at the value
of $ENV{'PERL_MBX_SIZE'} and not run the particular test if it is not large
enough.
That way no failure is seen for folks who do not have the logical set big
enough.
A message that rerunning the test with the logical defined could be issued.

Other places to consider mentioning the logical: README.vms and
configure.com.
